"Was it worth waiting a century and 8 years"?






  • Some interesting info from all things, a stamp collector rag, about baseball. 
  • At one time historians pegged the beginning of the modern baseball as to 1839, though baseball authorities today acknowledge 1845 - 1846. 
  • The first official recorded game took place on 06.19.1846 in Hoboken, NJ as the New Jersey Nine defeated the NY Knickerbockers 23-1 in four innings, Wimps!
  • My ancestors missed that game for, they didn't arrive in New York from Germany until later in 1847. They made it to Cincinnati before the Cincinnati Reds were formed however..
  • The Cincinnati Redlegs,or  Reds, this year they were called  worst things, as they were worst of the worst.for the  oldest professional base ball team in the USA.  Or the world, I believe?
  • I had mixed alegance this year>>>  the Cubs Vs the Indians. but the best team won, Right.?
